I had a similar problem on my pickup. I used the factory hydro bellhousing, slave cylinder and clutch for an 85 pickup but found that the slave cylinder was bottoming out on the circlip before completely engaging the clutch. I just cut and ground a new longer slave cyl pushrod from some 3/8 rod I have. Maybe I'm also using a throwout bearing that is too short?
